Psychology of Confidence (And How To Build the Kind That's Actually Real)

Psychology of Confidence (And How To Build the Kind That's Actually Real) We walk through the research that actually explains it: Cameron Anderson's work showing overconfidence predicts status but not accuracy, Elizabeth Tenney's research on why juries trust certainty over calibration, Justin Kruger and David Dunning's classic findings on the gap between confidence and competence, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes's research on the impostor phenomenon in high achievers, Albert Bandura's foundational theory of self-efficacy, and Alison Wood Brooks's research on reappraising anxiety as excitement. Which of the four illusions hit closest to home for you? Tell me in the comments, I read every one. #psychology #confidence #selfimprovement #neuroscience #impostersyndrome #mentalhealth #rushpaint — Research referenced: Anderson et al.
